Well, what do you know…. After I wrote the post about five reasons Jennifer’s Body should become a TV series, Keith and I were pretty excited about the prospect. Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Supernatural? Admit it — you’re excited too. When we heard Diablo Cody was at the TCAs, along with our friends at […]

This is why I chose to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel back-to-back like this. I knew Whedon had dropped little treats like this in for his loyal viewers, and now I can […]
